Learning 2.0

It's almost 10 years since we wrote the book "Classroom of the Future - A Guide to using the Internet in Irish Schools ". The Internet has changed radically since then, and we are more excited today about its potential than we were 10 years ago.

With the advent of Web2.0 tools, we need to look at this new potential in the context of 21st Century learning and consider the skills required by our generation to live, learn and work in the 21st century.
